To undo a pushed merge using git, you can follow these steps:

  1. Identify the commit ID of the merge commit that you want to undo. You can use the git log command to view the commit history and find the ID of the merge commit.
  2. Use the git revert command to create a new commit that undoes the changes introduced by the merge commit. You will need to specify the commit ID of the merge commit that you want to undo.
1
git revert <commit ID>


  1. Resolve any conflicts that may arise during the revert process and commit the changes.
  2. Push the new commit to the remote repository to undo the merge.
1
git push origin <branch name>


After following these steps, the changes introduced by the merge commit will be undone and the repository will be back to its previous state.
